the pairing that was obama and clinton, what do you think of the pairing that will be obama and kerry? >> it's an impressive team. both know a lot about foreign policy. the choice of europe and the mideast are important for symbolic reasons. some europeans felt that the obama administration paid too much attention to asia. this trip signals that nato is an enduring partnership for us and going to the mideast, you have so many crisis that they need to deal with from syria to iran to continued troubles in egypt and iraq. it makes sense to start here. i think that what the world is looking for for the united states is leadership. they are looking for an outward-leaning america, not trying to drawback into our borders as the far right or even the far left would have us do. secretary kerry you have a convincing and convinced international which is a great strength. >> based on that, the pivot to asia is in the confirmation hearings and he said i'm not convinced that a ramp up in the asia-pacific area is critical yet. that is something i want to look at very carefully. when you hear that an

bill clinton was needed by barack obama and clinton loves to be needed. that's what carries forward. i don't think that dynamic will change now. for both of them to establish what they want in history, they need each other. and it's also true, and the reason bill clinton reacted so strongly to that comment about ronald reagan, is because bill clinton understood some of the truth of that. he always realized that he was just sort of a transitional presidency and he granted that he didn't have the opportunity that he felt to be a great president because no crisis arose that a rot of them shot. and for that reason, for the fact that barack obama is truly the first black president whereas bill clinton was sort of symbolically and loved, you know, the better part of his nature was his idealism about race. for those reasons, it created some problems between them. but, in politics, both of these men realized there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies and they need each other right now. >> did clinton like your book, "first in his class." >> at the ti
